ACCELLOS ONE WAREHOUSE EDITIONS

INTRODUCTION TO ACCELLOS ONE WAREHOUSE EDITIONS

To provide customers with maximum flexibility and cost effective solutions,

Accellos offers three pre-packages editions, as well as modular licensing that lets customers pinpoint the functions and systems they wish to purchase as part of their Accellos One Warehouse system.

The pre-packages editions— Collect Edition, Manage Edition and Fulfill Edition, are designed to meet the requirements and scope of a variety of distribution

centers. All additional functionality offered by Accellos One Warehouse is licensed individually on a modular basis, which includes Optional Modules and

Toolkits.

The Editions and Optional Modules and Toolkits are described in the sections following.

COLLECT EDITION

The Collect Edition is the ‘basic’ or ‘easy’ edition of Accellos One Warehouse.

Collect is designed to be a true entry–level product. It offers simplified user

processes and implementation, while still providing a robust WMS solution. Concentrating on the basic features, this version has a streamlined setup and

configuration process that lets customers get up and running with less effort and a minimized learning curve.

MANAGE EDITION

The Manage Edition is essentially the Collect Edition with the addition of the

Kitting, Multi-Zone and Labor Standards modules. It maintains the simplicity

of the entry–level Collect Edition, while providing:

• ‘Kitting’ for sites that need some sort of production facility.

• Multi-zone functionality for sites that need to use zones for specific

purposes such as hazmat or freezers or if they define their warehouse

layout using different zones.

• Labor standards functionality, as well as the ability to optionally add other modules, as required.

FULFILL EDITION

The Fulfill Edition builds on the features and functions of the Collect/Manage

Editions by adding some of the most commonly used advanced features. Fulfill addresses the desire for the most frequently requested enhancements,

without requiring customers to buy specialized features they don’t need. Growing businesses will find that the upgrades in the Fulfill package provide

additional functionality for current and future needs.


4

OPTIONAL MODULES AND TOOLKITS

Since many businesses have specialized needs, Accellos One Warehouse

offers numerous modules/toolkits that can be purchased individually.

Accellos understands that businesses don’t want to buy functionality that they

will never use or that they don’t have the infrastructure to support. Therefore, the new licensing model allows you to pinpoint and purchase only the

modules/toolkits you require.

Modules are a standard set of functions that do not require any additional development to implement.

Toolkits are used by our Professional Services Development Team to build custom solutions for customers. For example, we have the ability to control

carousels and conveyors, but each site requires some level of customization. The customer would be required to purchase the Warehouse Automation

Toolkit and then a number of days of custom development at our standard PS

rates in order to implement a complete solution.

work in your specific environment.


• Container Receiving — Receive products

into the warehouse against an inbound manifest rather than individual purchase

orders.

• Containers can be downloaded from the ERP

or defined through the Accellos One

Warehouse system

• Simplifies check-in, improves accuracy and

speeds receiving operations.

Optional Optional

• Random Receiving — Receive by product

number and let the system determine which purchase order to receive against

Optional Optional

the purchase order from the host accounting system.

• ASNs (Advance Shipping Notices) are an

efficient way of receiving stock into the

warehouse, based on a license plate

/tracking/track trace number

Optional Optional


24


LICENSE PLATES: provides an effective way of grouping products onto pallets (or into cartons) for

easy movement and tracking throughout the warehouse.License plates make handling related

products more efficient, especially pre-packs and

serialized items


• Serialized Items — Rather than identifying

every serial number every time a pallet is moved, serial numbers are efficiently tracked

and moved through the warehouse using license plates

Optional Optional

• Pre-packs are ‘mixed’ cartons created by vendors – they contain multiple items in

specific quantities that are ordered by customers and therefore are never typically

opened. Each Pre-Pack requires a license plate.

Optional Optional

• License plates can be created through

Receiving, Miscellaneous Adjustments that add

stock to the warehouse, and Direct Moves.

• Once the license plate is created, you can add

and remove products from the license plate, move and assign the license plate to a new bin,

or pick the license plate to fulfill a sales order.

Optional Optional

and standard boxes, splits sales orders into

individual cartons before being released for picking. When orders are allocated, they are

automatically split up into their discrete cartons for picking directly to shipping container.


• Sales orders are split into multiple cartons based on the dimensions and weight of each

product as well as the fill rate (target and maximum), weight restrictions, and dimensions

of each box.

• Each carton is treated like a separate ‘order’ in

the system, all cartons must be finished before

information is uploaded to the ERP.

Optional Optional

• Facilitates simultaneous zone picking and

picking to final carton Optional Optional


25


ORDER CONSOLIDATION: used to combine partial sales orders from a specific customer / ship_to address

into a single order for processing in the warehouse.

functionality slightly differently. Please work with your reseller to determine how this will work in

your specific environment.


• Consolidate if Possible function when sales

orders are waved

• When selected, orders for the same customer &

ship_to are merged into a single sales order for

picking

• Orders are consolidated in their entirety

Optional Optional

• A consolidated order can contain lines (or partial lines) from one or more sales order, and is

picked, packed, shipped, and uploaded as if it was a single sales order.

Optional Optional

• Items from different sales orders can be picked into the same carton, something that is not

possible without consolidation

Optional Optional

REPACKAGING: Provides a formal warehouse process

for building repackaging orders that are downloaded

from ERP systems

Note: Each ERP system supports this

functionality slightly differently. Please work with

your reseller to determine how this will work in your specific environment.


• Splitting and/or repacking a single product into different packsizes. Repackaging orders can be

thought of as single-item kits, where the

component is the same as the finished item, with

a new pack size.

• Typically based on sales orders (actual or projected) for a specific packsize as determined

by the ERP

• Where Kitting builds a finished item from multiple

components, Repacking builds new packsizes for a single product – i.e. create boxes from units

and inner packs from master cartons

by the system based on what was picked.

• Process formal warehouse transfers between locations, either as Transfer Orders that are

downloaded from the ERP or created through

Accellos One Warehouse Transfer Order Entry

tool

Optional Optional

• Multi-Location reporting. Many standard
